Falsifying a theory is hardly done from ignorance. It would take a lot of knowledge to falsify biological evolution, considering the mountain of evidence that has accumulated supporting the ToE.

Abiogenesis is basically the hypothesis that first life originated from naturally occurring chemicals without any intervention by God or any living entity. You must have heard the arguments against life forming from slime from whatever creationcrapsites you have been getting your information from.

I didn't "falsify" it per se, rather I claimed that just because we can't disprove it, does not make it true.

"You must have heard the arguments against life forming from slime from whatever creationcrapsites you have been getting your information from."

Okay, this is yet another fun argument, even if abiogenesis is accurate you cannot say, that God or a god did not cause these "chemicals" to meet and cause the reaction creating life. The idea of abiogenesis does not contradict creationism.

sorry, I didn't catch the part of the definition that says "without God," thats my mistake. Let me rephrase that. The Idea of those natural chemicals reacting to create life, does not necessarily contradict creationism.
